I know, that’s what sucks about being Aspie, it’s so annoying. It however makes me a great writer and scientist. I catch and see all those seemingly unnoticed details instantaneously. I do all the stuff others can’t because they’re brains are just not designed to handle it, and I can work alone, versus a team of 20. That’s the funny part, it can take up to 10 people to replace my skills. If only the socializing aspect could be more standardized and facial expressions easier to understand, then life would make so much more sense.

Then again as an Aspie, I have to say, our kind is always right.

I have aspergers and I don’t really agree with the seeing the world in black and white thing. It might just be me not fitting my stereotype, but I often try to encourage the opposite in people. I can see how it may sometimes come across that way, but it might just have to be with extreme and passionate opinions with no hold back. I do think a lot about philosophy, so maybe my opinion is based on knowledge. Hope this helps.

BTW: So far I think the posts are hilarious. Good job.

I suppose I must have exceeded the limit on how many things I could correct. Dear me!

I am an Aspie. I think something in this post is amiss. Rather, I think some things in this post are amiss.
First, I’ve noticed that no distinction is made between the hyphen and the dash–a fatal error (please note that this use of the word “fatal” is strictly figurative, whatever that means). This applies throughout the list. Presumably your encoding or whatever (programming is not my special interest) does not support the dash character. But you can circumvent this, as I did above, by doubling the hyphen to represent the dash (in case you are inclined to object, know that Bryson would defend my use of “but” to begin this sentence) . Otherwise, the reader is left wondering what sort of strange color “red-for correction” is.
Second, the comma in the pseudo-sentence “Aspies love to correct, both people and inanimate objects” should be removed. I understand that you intend to have a pause for effect, and that you use the comma to convey this. However, it leaves the sentence illogically partitioned; everything after the comma is meaningless. This leaves “correct” without a direct object, making it seem intransitive. Now, if you added the words “whatever they can” before the comma, then “correct” would be clearly transitive, and the link between it and its two objects after the comma would be clear. I consider this option inferior to removing the comma.
Third, another dash-hyphen mix-up makes it sound as if Aspies attempt to conceal their tendency to correct others by biting methods.
Fourth, “volcanic-like” is redundant because “volcanic” means “volcano-like”, hence you are saying the reaction is volcano-like-like.
Fifth, “mispronunciations” is misspelled as noted by That Dork.
Sixth, “stretch” is misspelled as noted by petitvulcan.
Seventh, the double quotation mark after “chimpanzees” is missing.
Eighth, “you’re” is incorrectly used for “your” as noted by petitvulcan.
Ninth, “all time” should be hyphenated.
Tenth, “white out” is dangerously close to the Bic trademark Wite-Out.
Thus ends my comprehensive list of things that are amiss in this post. Apologies for R.E.P. insofar as I am capable of being sorry for being right.

That should be “couldn’t care less”. If you could care less , then you must care at least a little bit. Don’t correct my placement of the full stop at the end of the first sentence. I’m British; that’s how we do it.
